The Village of Broken Dreams, Somnium
Link arrived in Somnium in about two days. He was tired and wet from the rain. The town was barren, and soaked in complete darkness. He saw buildings with chips in them and bloodstains on the walls. The grass was dead and full of mud. Spiders crawled everywhere. Link thought to himself, "This is no place for a child to be. Where are their parents?"
Link suddenly heard the sound of children's laughter. It was coming from behind the building he stood by. He walked around to see five children in a circle, playing a game. But it wasn't a game at all.
The children were making colorful shapes in the air- with the tip of their fingers! They made spirals, hearts, suns, and moons, even a picture of Ganon! The images stayed in the air for a little while, then evaporated into nothing. Link stared in disbelief. Then, one child looked at him. "Wanna play with us mister?"
Link nodded. "How do you play?"
A little girl child from the circle walked over and grabbed his hand. "See this line in your hand?"
"Yeah."
"You think of an object or picture and then move your fingers like this!" The little girl moved her fingers in a weird gesture and Link mimicked it. "Then, you draw your shape!"
Link thought of the shape of the Triforce, and to his amazement, drew it in the air! It was a green color and glittered in the dim lights of the city. He gasped. The little girl said "Green must be the color your soul is entangled in! This village has spirits that read your personality and let you do this stuff. But only if you are a good person!"
One of the boys in the circle drew a fairy. "Look! It's Rosa!" The kids in the circle laughed. Link played with them for a little while longer, then decided to leave. The kids begged him to stay and play, but he told them he'd be back soon, so they continued in their merry ways. He walked away thinking "That was fun...and weird...."
He heard more laughter from little kids and watched as he walked by them. So were playing marbles, and some were dancing and singing. They all seemed so happy. "How can children be this happy without parents? Is it the freedom?" Link decided not to think too much about it and continued on.
He came to the base of a small hill and climbed it. At the top was a little house with candle lit windows. He decided to knock and ask about any swordswomen who might be in the village. He did knock and someone answered. "Yes?" a woman's voice came from behind the door. Link cleared his throat and said in a clear voice "I am Link of Hyrule. I have come with important orders from Princess Zelda and must speak with anyone who is available. May I enter?"
"Why of course young sir."
And the door opened.
Link was looking down the silver of an open blade.
